Hi Joyce, I realize this may seem like a long shot, and probably is, but have you looked in Davidson County. With the close proximity of Hendersonville to the county line, I am wondering if Mr. BLOODWORTH could have made a will and had it filed in that county. Also, I seem to recall some BLOODWORTH people in the Nashville area. The one I recall was a photographer in Madison or Goodlettsville. I think he is still in business today. One more question comes to mind. Since Mr. BLOODWORTH was the only Hendersonville man to perish in the "Great War," would the county or city historians be able to help you? By the way, if John attended Church, do you know where he went? There may be some information in the Church records about him. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family.
